Holocaust Series, Book Three
Title
Holocaust Series, Book Three
Description
The outer case of the book is made of black cardboard and a metal plate that is embossed with a design from nature. The metal plate reads 'In Spite of Everything' the theme of which is taken from the writings of Anne Frank.
There is an inner book that has another metal plate and repeats the phrase by Anne Frank.
There is a tri-fold book that has three attached stick figures with the writings and drawings of the children from Theresienstadt. There are circular symbolic beliers within each figure containing drawings of flowers - inside the last figure - a picture of a butterfly, also on the figure itself, a repeat of the most famous poem from the camp, '...I never saw another butterfly...' The Book folds over and reveals yet another book within the book featuring reproductions of the writings of the children addressing different themes sequenced in columns with real flowers pressed into the pages of the book.
This book was completed during April/June of 1993 with handmade paper composed of a blend of cotton fibers and Hawaiian sugar cane made in four stages prior to sheet formation.
